St Marys Barnes Parish Church Church Road Barnes London SW13 9HL
Proposal
Next door (Melville courtyard) T1 - Norway Maple Columnare (Acer Columnare x platanoides) Reduce the overhanging branches by up to 2.5m making sure there is 3m clearance from the church. Next door (growing over melville hall) T2 - Horse Chestnut x (Aesculus hippocastanum) As a safety precaution I have recommended that the limb growing over Melville halls roof will need some weight reduced from it - Reduce the laterals from the stem by 3.5m-4m. This operation would be done by using various rigging techniques to ensure no damages.
